I'm kind of new to mythtv and multimedia on a unix box.. But not really new
to unix/linux itself...
I am currently running .18.1 on a FC3 machine.
My machine used to be able to run nuvexport without any problem (or at least
as far as I could tell) I was getting ready to archive a bunch of stuff to
DVD and when I try to run nuvexport it fails in the ffmpeg stage.
Here's what the nuvexport screen shows..

Waiting for mythtranscode to set up the fifos.
Waiting for mythtranscode to set up the fifos.
Starting ffmpeg.
processed: 0 of 107745 frames (0.00%), 0.00 fps
It sits here for a while and then times out with a message that it cannot
open the file. Permissions don't seem to be an issue.. I've tried both
mythtv and root (they defaulted to root even though I'm running as
un:mythtv)
If I look at "top" while waiting.. Mythtranscode is taking about 80% CPU and
ffmpeg about 15-20%.
I haven't figured out where errors might be logged (I've looked in
var/log/messages and the mythtv error log and haven't seen any "errors")
It used to work (it's been a while since I tried it, so I'm not sure what
has changed).
Am I doing something wrong (wrong transcode settings?, not transcoding or
transcoding incorrectly (auto transcode is currently off.. But the result is
the same if it's on).
I saw a note a while back that you update to a specific version of ffmpeg
it's incompatible with a specific version of mythtranscode (or something).
How can I tell if this is the case?
Version of ffmpeg:
ffmpeg version 0.4.9-pre1, build 4754
I need to figure this out.. My main drive is running out of space and I'd
like to get stuff moved/archived off to DVD.
Any help would be appreciated. What other information is required to
diagnose this?
Thanks Lots!
